How much heavier would the typical passenger car be

That depends on the thickness of the sheet metal used in the car, which isn't constant. I'm not quite sure what "brick proof" means anyway.
 
You don't want a car to be that strong. The whole point of the car crusing in on itself is to absorb most of the impact keeping you alive.

Well no it does and the hull thickness average would be just over 4mm.

Internal secondary impacts would be handled via something totally different as remote as they would be in the first place. It's not even really on the board actually.

Brick proof is more of an urban behavior where it seems the male species seems to believe that propelling a rectangular clay object frequently used in the construction of their dwellings achieves adequate satisfaction from impact damage when it comes in contact with the thinmetal shell.

haha, no kidding
 
I redid the back end of my internatioanl about 2 weeks ago with 10 gauge steel.. and considering it was just the floor and minor patches, it was 250lbs heavier (dry weight of course)

No paint necessary. The metal can be tinted to the desired color although color is quite silly so that is a non issue. There will be no glass used either.

Affordability is not a problem. Expense is not particularly of concern.

It would definitely be brick proof for sure!

Just wait untill scientists discover how to make transparent aluminum (and other metals) as seen on Star Trek 4.

Expensive, stronger and see-thru.. :shocked:
